WEST SPRINGFIELD — Firefighters quickly extinguished a fire at a three-family West Springfield home Saturday evening.

Around 8:40 p.m., a 911 call reported a structure fire at 30-32 Church St. As crews pulled up on the scene, they reported seeing light smoke coming from the upper floors of the home.

Within 20 minutes, firefighters reported that they had the fire knocked down. Crews entered the third floor apartment after that to vent the smoke, and utility crews were dispatched to the scene to disconnect service.

Crowds of onlookers watched as firefighters worked around the property. Neighbors said all three apartments were occupied, although it was unclear if anyone was home when the fire broke out.

The Pioneer Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross was on the scene providing first responders with canteen services and taking care of two families displaced by the fire.

Police had blocked off church Street between Union and Main streets, only allowing local traffic to proceed.

It wasn't immediately known whether anyone was injured in the blaze or what caused it as fire crews remained on the scene more than an hour after the fire was reported.

The Red Cross, which provides relief during a variety of emergency situations, is always in need of additional donations and volunteers. For information on how to make a tax-deductible contribution to the non-profit organization, visit its website at www.redcross.org/ma/springfield.
